Two-months back, I got a big break for my career – a new responsibility.
It was awesome; it was what I wanted, a new challenge so that I could push myself to being limitless.

So, I told myself that I would give my everything to learning this new role and be awesome in it..my everything…

I indulged myself into trainings and shadowing and learning everything about my new responsibilities. I was always on stress & tension because I didn’t want to screw things up. For two whole months, my work became my everything. I stopped doing my other things like writing, going on adventures; you know things that actually bring you inner happiness.
It was like this because I thought that if I dedicated my mind to something else other than this new role, this would disrupt my focus and decrease my productivity.
Eventually, as time passed by, my work took over my mind and my creative side got blocked. I felt zero connection with the universe and like my intuition stopped talking to me.
So, basically it was like my left side of my brain took over my mind and my right side got lost.
But, I said, it’s fine, the creativity will come back. This new responsibility is much more important than anything.

I kicked ass at work, I worked hard, I worked smart, for very long hours.
And, I proved myself & to everyone that it was not a bad decision to take me for this new role.

I felt good about myself that I have achieved this…for like 5 minutes. Then, I felt like complete crap.

Yups, I felt like shit 🙂

Why? Because looking back over those two-months, I saw myself grinding and working my ass off to impress the boss and not let anyone say that I wasn’t good enough for the role; which I accomplished.
But, I also lost weight because I was always skipping lunch to get the work done; I felt physically & mentally tired; I became to a point that I no longer wanted to look at my computer screen and I was waiting to the weekend to sleep..
Yeah… I became like the rest of the world.. zombies.. I had stopped living, I was only EXISTING.

Sure, I got more bucks – awesome.. getting more money is always awesome.. but, for what ?

For Fuck’s sake.. for what?

Yayyy.. I got more bucks and more responsibilities at work, but I was no longer inline with the vibration of the universe. I no longer loved myself.

That sucks.. like real bad..

I looked at some of my colleagues; when I first started working, I said – Nopes, am not gonna end up like them, people who work for the weekends. But, I did become like them..

And, all of a sudden, I didn’t like who I’ve become.. That’s not good at all..

We have to balance our life.. Work.. Career.. Money.. it’s awesome to have those in life.. But, the other aspects of our life are important too.. Health, experiences, connection, friendship, love..
What’s the use of having a little more money in life if we don’t have life experiences? If we do not have someone real to come back home to? Or, simply we neglected our health and now, we look like crap?

It’s not worth it.. 🙂

We can’t just give Only ONE aspect of our life our everything.
We have to give & receive in all aspects of our life..

Don’t say, let me work a lot this year, then next year when I have so much of money, then I’ll start living life like I want.. How do you know you gonna live till next year?

Start balancing.. Start to celebrate all your little wins, and not wait for the big ones to pop up the champagne… Go on that nature walk.. Stop saying “I have to work tonight, I’ll go out with my friends next week” and then, you never get the time & energy to actually go out.

Last week, I got sick.
It was a bad flu – Lost my voice and stuffs that happen when you get sick.

That’s not the worst part or the point..

The worst part was that it decreased my productivity at work, my brain stopped working as it had to be, I got less smart.

That Sucks!

We all hate being sick..
Am not talking about the people who actually love getting sick, to escape from work.
Am talking about people who actually love to live, instead of just being exist.. people like us.. like me..

We hate being sick.. We want More Money..
Our dream Job.. We want..
Good Food.. The best relationship.. We Want.. Our soulmate.. that our business flourishes..
We want success.. Good health.. to be Fit always.. more energy..
We want lots of things.. we want the best.. the best of everything.. like you know – those people who have like everything..

Ah.. so many thing we want.. I want those things too..

Here’s the thing – I know I get sick often & I know also that in order to have a better health, I had to take care of myself.
But, did I?Nopes.

Did I change something in my daily life to contribute to a better health?
No, I didn’t… and, the cycle continued..

The same applies to all aspects of our life..

If we are not willing to make the change, we’re gonna lead the same life every year.. the same shitty relationship – low energy or that idea that remains in your head only.

If You Change Nothing, Nothing Will Change.

You want more money? You want a better relationship?
Be willing to change something – add something up.

Get out of that comfort zone..

If you change something in your daily routine, you are actually giving rise to a better future.

I always say, your brain is the most powerful muscle – learn to use it wisely.

Make it believe that you’re ready for change because you’re freaking amazing & you wanna be extraordinary, and just take the Leap!

Go For It.. Everything will fall in place.. If you don’t take the first step & actually send the universe that message “I’m bringing some astonishing changes to my life” , the universe will help you and aligns things for you..

You can have an exceptional life, you can seriously have everything that you have ever wanted..
And, NO – THEY AREN’T JUST WORDS!!

The Timeline of Your Life

Did I mean the timelines that Barry Allen keeps changing? Am I talking about The Flash here?Nopes.

Though I would love to dedicate a blog post to Grant Gustin, but today isn’t the day.
I am however using the concept of The Flash’s timeline here.

See, you all agree with me that there is a higher power out there, everywhere.. Some call him God, others the Universe, some the Higher Force or your intuition or that thing which is inside you.
But, it’s here.. Right?

I call it the Universe.

The universe loves us, seriously it loves us & it always guides us, talks to us.
The trick is to listen carefully.

Most people spend their whole lives never actually listening to their intuition.
Then, they complain to the universe of why their lives are like this & why this other someone is lucky.

The universe wants the best for us.
Only the best.

But, the best doesn’t come easy.
If it was easy, it wouldn’t be called the “best”.

So, why is that very few people experience extraordinary love, utmost success in career and the rest is just exceptionally beautiful for them?
While most people just have a normal life?

Simple Answer.
They didn’t screw up the timeline of their life.
In other words: They didn’t settle for less than they deserve.

Let’s take an example:

Meet Jim.
And, since the universe wants only the best for him, Jim’s timeline would probably look like this.

But, what actually happens with most people is this:

The best doesn’t come easily, you need to show the universe that you’re not settling.
So, Jim waits for the career that he loves but then, the society starts to be a dick to him.

“Why is Jim still at home?”
“SO, you failed at your degree, that’s the reason why you are not getting any job?”

Now, if Jim says am not settling, the best is coming.
Then people say,
“you’re very stupid! who waits? This isn’t how things work! You need to accept what you get! Else, you won’t achieve anything!”

And, everyone starts making Jim feel stupid, weird and a loser.

And, poor Jim eventually give in & accepts that this how things work.
He need to accept any job, even if he knows he’s not going to be happy there.
So, Jim Settles.

When you settle, you send a message to the universe — something like this:

“Hey Universe! I’m gonna take this job because I don’t think I deserve the best. So, we’re good. You can give it to someone else”

And, the universe receiving your message LOUD & CLEAR, is definitely going to give the BEST to someone who is AWAKE to take it.

And, then Jim blames the universe – ask why he doesn’t get what he wants. He complains almost everyday.
Now, it’s the universe fault for the action that he took.
Great!

What’s the use Jim?
What’s the use of living on this earth if we’re not happy inside & outside?
It’s a complete waste of Life.

People find it hard to NOT settle.
They fear. Of how the society will label them.
They fear of “what if I end up like shit”

But, it’s actually a good thing that people like Jim doesn’t get the BEST.
See, if you are not patient, strong and have the balls to stand up for yourself, & stick up to knowing what you WANT,well how are you going to get the best?

You wanna grow up & succeed? Be willing to stand ALONE.

Am gonna leave this article with something that Michael Jackson used to do..
Michael used to get inspiration for his songs at 3 am. He used to wake up and just hear the words flowing in the head.
And, he used to call his manager at that time to tell him about it.
Manager: “Michael, it’s 3 in the morning. Let’s talk about this tomorrow”.
And, Michael would say, NO. THIS CAN’T WAIT.

I need to write this down NOW.
Else, someone else is going to get it.

The universe wants to give you the BEST & is doing it.
But, if you are not willing to make an effort, be strong and take it, the BEST is going to go to someone else who is AWAKE & ready to take it.

So, remember if you’re going through a hard phase in your life right now, it’s just because the universe wants you to grow more and that there’s something better out there waiting for you.

I have put up some famous quotes for inspiration:

“This is the key to life: the ability to reflect, the ability to know yourself, the ability to pause for a second before reacting automatically. If you can truly know yourself, you will begin the journey of transformation.” – Deepak Chopra

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” -Michael Jordan

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” -Anais Nin

“There are no regrets in life. Just lessons.”- Jennifer Aniston

“Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing the monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.” – C.S.Lewis

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”– Andy Warhol

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”27– Lao Tzu

And, the speech I really loved from Taylor Swift:

“I want to say to all the young women out there, there will be people along the way who will try to undercut your success,” she said. “Or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.But if you just focus on the work … you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there. That will be the greatest moment.”

You won’t achieve anything with a weak mind.
No matter how much you meditate, visualize and ask the universe to help you, it won’t happen with a weak mind.
Weak minds attract negative beliefs. They attract negative affirmations like:

“I’m not good enough” ; “Maybe I’m not the ideal woman, that’s why he left” ;
“I CAN’T do this” and the list goes on and on…
And then, you ask the universe why is all this happening to me, help me, get me out of this.
But, it won’t happen.

See, the universe never responds to negative beliefs.
The more you are in the victim stage, the more the universe can’t hear you.

You can call it God, some call it Universe, others the force.
Call it whatever you want ; It will only respond to your positive vibes.

You say to yourself:
“I can’t do this. I won’t be able to do it. I’m scared.”
The universe hears:
“He can’t do it, he’s scared & tired with life – Meaning: he’s not ready for the big promotion I was going to give him because he’s scared. I should give the promotion to that other guy who is awake, very confident.”

I’m talking from experience; I have been in the victim stage & I have achieved nothing.

Nothing is impossible in life. NOTHING!

Your brain is your most powerful muscle. It can be your worst enemy or your biggest strength. Train it well. You CAN do it! You WILL do it! You DESERVE the best!

Believe that you deserve the best. Believe that you can do it. Then, take actions.
You’ll be amazed how the universe will conspire to give you the best.
